TL;DR: Retrieval of >15 oocytes significantly increases OHSS risk without improving LB rate in fresh autologous IVF cycles, and less aggressive stimulation protocols should be considered, especially in high-responders, to optimize outcomes.

TL;DR: Success rates in fresh autologous cycles, including those done for specifically PCOS or male-factor infertility, are highest in those with low and normal BMIs and there is a progressive and statistically significant worsening of outcomes in groups with higher BMIs.

TL;DR: Success rates in recipient cycles are highest in those with low and normal BMI, but progressively worsened as BMI increased, and there is a progressive and statistically significant worsening of outcomes in groups with higher BMI with respect to clinical pregnancy and live birth rate.

TL;DR: Recent national registry data suggest that donor oocyte recipients have stable rates of pregnancy outcomes before age 45, after which there is a small but steady and significant decline.

TL;DR: Recent US data suggest that the hormonal environment resulting from autologous ovarian stimulation lowers IVF success rates, and further research is needed to determine when to avoid fresh embryo transfer in autologueous patients.
